Surveys

While taking surveys I think I gained a resistance to rejection. With things like this you have to keep going, you can't be afraid to ask anybody and everybody. You have to move past that natural hesitation to interrupt peoples day and just say what you have to say. It was a very odd feeling. 

Some people were very friendly and supportive which really helped my self esteem when it came to asking people. I really enjoyed chatting to these people and felt that it was a positive experience. 

The negative people who either ran, flat out said no or question my motives ultimately equaled a good experience. In the moment it was incredibly nerve racking when someone says to something like "You're going to send me junk mail? I've done this sort of thing before, never again!". That moment feels terrible but you gain perspective, it's not the end of the world when someone you've never met and will never me again rejects you. In that respect it is eye opening.
